A very LONG scrub
I manually kicked off my first scrub about four hours ago. I'm running 4x4TB WDC Reds @ 5400 RPM on RAID6, resulting in a 7.27TB volume. These are my present stats, calculated in Excel: % ...

The scrub will speed up a bit once the filesystem portion of the scrub finishes. But it'll never be "fast" using RAID6 on a RN104. RAID5 can offload some parity calculation work to a specialized engine on the CPU, but no such engine exists for RAID6 on the RN104 CPU, and RAID6 is much more computationally intensive than RAID5. You'd probably have a better experience using RAID10 on RN104.

Is it still suggesting such a long time till completion?
If so, can you send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?

OK, sent.
Yes... but it's now calculating out to be even longer - nearly 10 weeks.
Here are the latest stats:
